JUly 20, 2017 Bargaining: Report 51

Share:

There have been no meetings scheduled with the Company this week. This doesn’t mean that your Bargaining Committee has taken a break; in fact, quite the opposite. We have been busy working on the numerous Unfair Labor Practice Charges that have been filed against the company as a result of the unilateral changes the company continues to make. Remember, while we are working without a contract the company cannot make changes to any terms and conditions of employment. Please continue to notify your Local if you uncover any changes that are being made.

We have also been educating the public about our concerns associated with outsourcing of jobs and the increased use of authorized dealers and third party vendors. AT&T vendors and authorized dealers are driving down standards for customers and workers with poor customer service and shady practices like failure to quote terms and enrolling customers in expensive packages they did not request.

We know this process has been long and frustrating but we will not let the company break us. We will continue to focus on the issues that you, our members have identified as ones that need to be fixed during this round of bargaining and we will take as long as we need in order to do just that. We need you to remain focused and committed as well. We are extremely far apart on all major issues! Mobilizations must continue. Let your voices be heard. Tell Management you deserve a fair contract and are willing to do whatever it takes to get one.

When we fight, we WIN! Stay Strong Brothers and Sisters!!

In Solidarity,
